OKay – I had to share this … It seems I have become the unofficial ‘pitch’ person for this years Stitch and Pitch. Thursday July 26th, at 7:05p at Safeco Field to see the Mariners beat the Oakland A’s. …

Day 2 – 90 miles, 5.5 hours and 7 stores. I was able to make much better time today, especially since the stores were much closer together than yesterday – I would have made even better time without a few wrong turns, but what can you do. …

I just finished a great little cropped jacket this past week. I found the pattern in the new magazine ‘Adorn’ – the pattern was one of their web extras.

Besides comparing the what all the store have to offer, each store has a free one skein pattern plus a 10% discount on the yarn to complete the project. Visit all 20 stores and you have a chance of winning a $400 gift certificate (plus a lot of yarn for you stash). Before crawling from store to store, you might want to consider cleaning out your yarn stash … Knit For Life will be collecting extra yarn and spare needles at all the LYS. It’s a chance to do something good for others, while making room for all those great purchases! …
